    Hi Lindsay, Yes the AAL is a good place for youngins starting out in flying! I was a member once before I joined the RAAF. The aircraft construction and theory of flight subjects are actually quite good. The discipline is good too.. Once he leaves his junior cadet rankings get him into flying!!

    Hey man, Thx for the RV-4 photo! ...Damn looks like I won't be getting one of them then! They are a bit too heavy for RAA! ....what other sporty 2 seaters are there that kinda look like a Taylor Titch, Corby starlet or Midget mustang?? ..It's so easy to pick a single seater but to find a slippery sports 2 seater in the RAA category is hard... any suggestions?

From Umina Beach! ...yes I'm a beach bum haha (jokes) I used to work at Westfield Tuggerah for a while there hahaha... I've flown out of Warnervale a few times too.

    yeh dad n I had the same discussion about 1 versus 2 seats just the other day, If I went a 2 seater I'd prob go tandem and seriously consider the VANS RV-4. Anybody know anyone with a RV-4 ?

    Hey

    Tigershark21 replied to a topic in Just Landed - Welcome

    Hey guys here's something random, In the garage, I found the most hilarious book recently called "practical flying"... I was really surprised when i opened it that it was a flying training manual from 1917 !!!!! I skipped to the 'solo' part and it was the funniest read ever! Apparently if you're a good horse rider you'll make a great pilot hahahaha so there ya go man! ..If we could only do today what those guys did back then!!!! ...I guess I kinda learned how to tune a gnome rotary from it tho LOL... scary much... Anybody interested in reading it?? Adam :)

    Oh wow I finally found a Corby pilot!!!! I'm Adam, and I'd love to learn as much about the Starlet as I can!!! I want to build/buy one, its my dream machine! DO you know anyone with plans for sale, parts, etc? The more I learn about the Starlet the more I want one!!!!!! Hope to hear from you!

    I've also had a cold reception when I once approached some flying schools at cooly for some training. I also recommend Boonah... nicest bunch I ever met. I've been meaning to head out there for ages now as I've posted to Amberley and it's not too far so I've got no excuse haha
  22. Tigershark21
    hows the old flying tigers going out at Boonah man?
  23. Tigershark21
    The mustang II is very nice! Love the centre console throttle! I bet the Midget Mustang would be fun... strong bugger too.. There is a USA website called umm... homebuiltairplanes.com ...its a similar layout like this one but i'm pretty sure that one's an American site

    Hi Fosie! I think it's awesome that you already know what you want to do in life! I first started flying when i was 15. I got photo's of me in my profile on here! In the begining what I did first was speak to my careers advisor at school and they contacted the local flying training schools in the area and made a deal and organized one day a week after school for a few hours each week to study the theory component of becomming a pilot. The course is called BAK (basic aeronautical knowledge). Since the school organized it, I got it a bit cheaper and it was classed as an extra subject! So maybe speak to your careers counsellor at school after the holidays and they might be able to give you a head start as they did with me.

    Hi Steven, Thanx 4 the reply. I notice you have a sportstar! ...wow... some time ago I seen one with mum n dad at Boonah Qld (flying tigers club) and it was quite nice! I gotta admit those types of machines are the future ...who on earth would want a C-152?? ....and yes I do have it bad.. it's gotten to the point where I guess the plane flying overhead by the type of engine I hear... and if it's not a Lycoming, I run outside to see what it is flying overhead! ..If it's a radial, I fly out the door! hehehe
